It's interesting that they've got their 'lite' version of the game available right from the start (Scientist level) and that it comes with pre-assembles coloured minis for the straight boardgame crowd

smart move Mantic

Yeah, jumping in on this at $140 if only for the 4 factions and scenery.

I wouldn't be unhappy if that was all i got but I have a feeling i will be seeing a lot of extra stuff added to the base box. Did anyone see the "2nd Generation" plague dude in the video and notice it wasn't in the faction pack?

I would love it if there was a similar "underboss" for each of the faction that was unlocked along the way.

One sad thing is I am somewhat justified in not buying a set of enforcers just for display as these are far more character-ful.

Yep, they're hitting all markets with this, boardgamers and wargamers in some kind of glorious middle ground.

100% of the DZ minis will have Warpath rules, I made sure to ask about that, so these can form the start of armies for that game too if you want.

Very smart. They've payed close attention to different groups.

i had to update java, and when it finished the 140 EB was gone, so i just got the 141 eb! I can't wait for more options to buy more building sprues, and or maybe just a cheap way to double everything in the striker edition. also part of me wants to do the captain striker at 500 but thats a bit out of my price range atm.

I'm not entirely sure if Strike Team or Recon is the way to go. It sounds like you'll be getting all the stretch goals (albeit only for two factions instead of four), and could save $50. I suppose it depends a lot on how the stretch goals are going to work. It's probably worth going Strike Team, but heck, I had to edit this to something more meaningful that 'ninja'd'.

Check out what you get in Striker and what you get in Jack and expect the same. IMO you get value for the extra $50.

BTW, the $150 pledge has 2 extra factions and 2 extra building sprues already.

God, it's like they pay attention to their customer base.

They did something similar with Dreadball, they were selling, "Dreadball Kickoff" at AdeptiCon, it came with the rules, the board, dice, and models, but no ref or cards, and was more for a board game rather than a "wargame"

Once the scenery sprues become available as add ons, think this will shoot through the roof. Mid-campaign slump breaker perhaps.

Pledged. Not really sure what I am getting but I will check when I am out of bed!

Digital enforcer sculpts huh? Seems like they have tweaked the legs to look less skinny also, good move Mantic. Just please offer the old enforcer captain over old grumpy in a cape, not a fan...

$5 shipping for me isn't bad also, got an earlybird so I guess it pays for itself.

I think you could even argue in favour of titling the boardgame version Dreadball, and the miniature version something extra.

Yeah looks like theres going to be alot of hidden planned guys added to all the current factions. If you look at the starter sets you can see silhouettes that don't match the show artwork, its most noticable with the Reds, theres
clearly a guy with a tail and digitigrade legs.

It's the other use of lush "People" now apply the specific vegetation adjective to anything in general that's perceived to be a good thing.

Such as, that $140 pledge level looks lush, glad I got myself one

$40 for 6 models this time?

I am quite intrigued on the aliens named but not shown in rebels and on the aliens shown but unnamed on the videos illustrations.

And funded, in half an hour for $50k.

Possibly room for some stretches on that level?

Is that some level of record? O.o

No, Zombiecide Season 2 holds the record at something like 10 minutes...

Man thats was fast, this could be Mantics biggest KS by far. Now just imagine how crazy the Warpath KS will be next year.

Oh well on to the stretch goals.

Well that took what, 35 mins?

More early bird strike team 5 and 6 have sold than early bird 4. It's not much....but that is a few dollars being thrown away. :S

Interesting international option: Shipping is $5, but courier is still $15.

That had a target of $25k though, not $50k. It still wins, but not by a great margin.

This going to be huge, I can see $1.5mil for this.

Not too sure on the Reb, their faction list include leadert, 2 humans and 3 non human sounding races, Sorak, Yndij (Indigenous to the world?) and a heavy weapon Grogan. My money is on the non-human in the art being the grogan but they have included 2 extra humans in the art, which is odd, rather than line work of the Sorak or Yndij.


Edit: Name correction

And a card deck, and the probability of getting more after stretches, and the shipping

Rules for this are sounding great.

Terrain is destructible, you can loot new weapons and use them during the game by finding crates (which may also be booby-trapped!).

Sounds like a lot of fun.

Well I'm in at $142 now I've just got to hope that my car doesn't decide to break down again and force me out of this one. After the annoyance of missing out on the Warzone kickstarter thanks to me car I really don't want it to happen again.

$141 for me. Really looking forward to this kickstarter

Surprised at no stretch goals. I hope they add some.

Give them time, it's not been up long.

No Addons either... but that's definately going to change very very soon ^^
